Jikiden Reiki Reiju (Attunement) - Empowering the Soul
"Reiju" activates Reiki Flow
In Traditional Japanese Reiki ‘Reiju’ is a technique used by Reiki Teachers (Shihans) and Assistant Teachers (Shihan-Kakus) to re-awaken the dormant flow of Reiki in receiver’s body. It is what makes Reiki different from other spiritual healing methods. Reiju is a gentle reminder to the soul of its own true divine nature, reviving, renewing and reconnecting with the divine universe - your true self and
How does Reiju Work?
This ‘fast track’ technique of obtaining the ability to help heal people was created by Sensei Mikao Usui. He drew from ideas that already existed in the original Japanese spirituality called Shinto, which existed in Japan before Buddhism arrived and survives to this day as an endemic part of Japanese culture. Usui Sensei discovered Reiki after achieving enlightenment following many years of spiritual practices. After his enlightenment, he realised the human’s natural ability to use Reiki and heal others. He created a special method to re-activate this ability that doesn’t require hard practice like he went through before his enlightenment.

In the West what we call Reiju is usually referred to as “attunement”. However – in Jikiden Reiki the word attunement is not used. The meaning of Reiju is explained in Jikiden Reiki training. As well as the fact that Reiki is easy to understand, Reiju is what allows people to become effective users of Reiki almost straight away. This seemingly impossible notion often puts people off, as many consider learning something as amazing as Reiki needs years of dedicated practice. However, the point of Jikiden Reiki is that it is simple, accessible and effective. It does not take long to find out that you can make a difference without much effort cultivating ability (though we encourage regular active use of Reiki). The primary function of Reiki training is to help people know how to apply Reiki most effectively and to understand the theory of it.
Sensei Chiyoko Yamaguchi’s Reiju Experience
Sensei Chiyoko Yamaguchi, founder of Jikiden Reiki received Reiju from Dr Hayashi. She has explained how they sat in the ‘seiza’ position (kneeling) with their eyes closed and hands in the ‘gassho’ prayer position. They recited the Gokai (5 principles) 3 times and the room was completely dark. During the Reiju they felt people touch their head and hands. Reiju was not just given by Dr Hayashi, but other teachers (Shihans) that could also do Reiju. these days in Jikiden Reiki – Shihan’s will invite other Shinan’s and Shinan Kaku’s (assistant teachers) to give Reiju with them. In seminars with my Teacher Tadao Yamaguchi we often have as many as 6 people giving Reiju.
